Chapter 104 The Masked Man
The moment Ke Yinzhi started talking to Cai Bing, Ke Mingye immediately opened the chat panel with his mind. He typed words in the chat box and sent a message to Cai Bing.
[Failed Man: No, whose name did you tell my brother just now? ]
At this moment, Cai Bing was chatting with Ke Yinzhi. She noticed the bubble in the upper right corner of her vision with the corner of her eye, so she opened the chat panel with her mind.
【Cai Bing: Did you say "Song Yawen"? 】
【Failed Man: Yes. 】
[Cai Bing: This is an ordinary person's name, an only child, whose parents have passed away.]
[Failed Man: That's the problem. If you tell my brother this name, what if he uses his authority to find out that you are not "Song Yawen" at all? He can't let someone like you go. ]
【Cai Bing: You don’t have to worry about it. 】
【Failed Man:? 】
[Failed Man: Big sister, I will send it if you get caught. ]
【Cai Bing: You are so annoying. 】
[Cai Bing: I am now wearing a human face mask made with the appearance of "Song Yawen". I asked someone to kidnap her on the day I arrived in Huanjing. She is now locked up in an abandoned factory. She has no relatives and no one will look for her. I can use her identity to live in her apartment and do a customer service job for her.]
[Failed Man: So when you were with us, you always wore a human face mask? ]
[Cai Bing: No, buddy, do you understand what situation I am in now? Isn't it you and Fan Quan who caused me to be hunted by Qing Ya? ]
[Zai Bing: I am coming here soon, so I must take some safety measures in advance. I made this human face mask more than half a month ago. As long as I come to Huanjing, I can replace her identity at any time.]
【Failed Man: No wonder. 】
[Cai Bing: I am also a hacker, so I am definitely more cautious than you think. But thanks to you, I may have to change my identity again.]
At this moment, in a cubicle on the second floor of the cafe.
Ke Yinzhi put down his ballpoint pen, looked away from the menu, and turned to look at Cai Bing: "I also often visit this cafe, how about leaving your contact information?"
Cai Bing took a sip of lemonade, raised his eyes slowly from the glass, and looked at him calmly.
"You probably... don't ask for girls' contact information that often, right?" she said.
"Are you referring to me?"
"Correct."
Ke Yinzhi asked: "I am busy with my studies and I don't really have much contact with women. Is that offensive to you?"
Ke Mingye watched his elder brother start to show off his acting skills again, and secretly complained in his heart: "Yes, yes, you are busy with your studies."
"Of course I am offended. Asking for contact information right away is very rude, okay?" Cai Bing said expressionlessly, "Especially for a difficult type like me. The worst that can happen is after you drink your coffee... Learn from this next time."
While handing the menu to the waiter, Ke Yinzhi met Cai Bing's eyes, chuckled twice and asked.
"That's true, should I apologize to you?"
Cai Bing supported his chin with his right hand and stared at him calmly for a while.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
"Yes." Ke Yinzhi just finished speaking, then remembered that tomorrow was July 7th, and he had to stay by Ke Xiaomo's side, so he changed his words and said, "No, it seems that I haven't come."
"Really? I wanted to ask you to go to a movie."
"That's a pity..." Ke Yinzhi tilted his head, "How about the day after tomorrow? I'll have time the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, it depends on your performance." Cai Bing held his chin with his hand, lowered his head to look at his phone, and said nonchalantly, "If you perform well, I'll give you the contact information."
"Okay... I have a call to take, wait a minute."
As he spoke, Ke Yinzhi smiled slightly, picked up the ringing cell phone from the pocket of his brown coat, then stood up and walked to the shadow at the entrance of the corridor.
"Welcome to the Control Bureau's exclusive APP, Mr. 'Black Judge'."
A gentle and distant female voice came from the phone, and it seemed to carry the smell of disinfectant.
"Song Yawen, help me look up this name."
Ke Yinzhi leaned against the wall covered with movie posters, typed the text in the dialog box with one hand and sent it.
Soon, the other party replied in a mechanical and orderly manner: "Song Yawen, an only child; two genetic tests in the past year showed that she was of ordinary race, and her parents died of illness; she currently lives alone in an apartment building near the Liluo Bridge in Huanjing, and works in a customer service job that does not require her to leave the house. Her biggest hobby on weekdays is watching movies."
"Retrieve photos from the past half month and work status from the past week to check for any abnormal behavior."
As he finished speaking, pictures taken by the surveillance camera flashed across Ke Yinzhi's eyes.
Sometimes Song Yawen was shopping alone in the supermarket, sometimes she was watching a movie alone in the cinema, and sometimes she was walking alone by the lake. The appearance in the photo basically matched the face he had just seen.
Her work situation was also displayed on her mobile phone. Song Yawen had basically never been absent from her customer service job.
"No abnormal behavior was observed. The person's life pattern was normal and his work efficiency was normal," said the cold female voice.
Am I being too suspicious? I’ve been too neurotic because of work recently... Ke Yinzhi leaned his head against the wall, yawned, and continued to ask in a vague voice.
"So, what is the probability that she is a player?"
"The probability that this person is a player is less than 0.5%. Do we need to apply for a brain imaging helmet?"
"No."
Ke Yinzhi shrugged self-deprecatingly, turned off his phone, walked out of the shadow of the corridor entrance, and returned to his seat.
He pondered for half a second, raised his clear eyes, and said slowly: "Miss Wen, I just received a temporary work notice."
He lifted his chin and took a sip of lemonade. "It looks like I'll be very busy this coming week. I might not be able to watch the movie the day after tomorrow. How about forgetting it?"
"Do you regret it now?" Cai Bing raised her eyes and tilted her head to look at him.
"No, I'm telling the truth."
"Could it be that your girlfriend called you out of the blue?" Cai Bing continued to ask, "You already have a girlfriend, but you're still messing around outside? How dare you do that in front of your brother?"
At this moment, Ke Mingye seemed to be playing with his phone, but he actually heard everything clearly. He felt his head buzzing, as if a piece of iron was burning, and he was about to pass out.
He typed on the chat panel and began to put pressure on the ice cutter.
【Failed Man: Why don’t you leave? 】
【Cai Bing: What's the hurry?】
[Zai Bing: I definitely can’t just let it go in this situation. His behavior has been so abrupt. If I don’t continue to ask, I’ll seem weird.]
[Failed Man: Now I know why you were able to play with the anti-dog in your previous life. You are so generous. ]
[Cai Bing: Compared to this, let’s be frank…]
【Failed Man: What do you want to say? 】
[Cai Bing: Your brother is quite handsome.]
[Failed Man: No, buddy, if you want to die, just find a river and jump into it. Don’t drag me into the water, okay? ]
"No, I don't have a girlfriend." Ke Yinzhi took a sip of coffee and answered. Cai Bing tilted his head and looked him straight in the eyes: "So you simply don't like me?"
"Of course not."
"You change your face so quickly. You're no longer interested in me after just one phone call."
Cai Bing held his chin, tapped the table with his fingers, and looked at him expressionlessly.
After a while, she sighed and said, "13822858, this is my phone number. I gave you my contact information, where is yours?"
"All right……"
Ke Yinzhi had no choice but to give a phone number, "15971241."
Ke Mingye choked on the lemonade. He heard that Ke Yinzhi was calling Ke Xiaomo.
"Remember to answer my call. See you in a week. And... forget about buying me a cup of coffee. I don't like owing people anything."
As he spoke, Cai Bing had already stood up from the table. Before leaving, he glanced at Ke Mingye and said something.
"Your brother is very cute."
"Really... Well, I think so, too."
Ke Yinzhi responded casually, covering his face with his hands to suppress his laughter, then reached out and rubbed Ke Mingye's hair twice in a teasing manner, making his hair messy.
"What do you mean?" Ke Mingye slapped his hand away and looked at him with disdain. "What's so funny about other people praising me? Do you understand how popular high school boys are among female groups? It's the same reason why men always like 18-year-old beautiful girls."
"Okay, okay, high school boy."
Ke Yinzhi spoke in a casual tone, teasing while watching Cai Bing's back as he left from the corner of his eye.
At this moment, Cai Bing had already walked down the stairs and out of the cafe.
When her footsteps disappeared, Ke Mingye dared to say, "Come on, this woman has such a strong personality, I don't even dare to say anything... Brother, you won't be controlled by her, right?"
"Haha, actually I just gave her Ke Xiaomo's phone number."
"I heard it. You are such a bastard. What if my second brother falls?"
"Oh, are you talking about our classmate Xiao Mo? The probability of him shaving his head and becoming a monk is probably much higher than the probability of him falling in love..." Ke Yinzhi teased, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Here comes your ice cream."
Ke Mingye took the ice cream sundae and a small iron spoon from the waiter, and then used the spoon to put the ice cream into his mouth while looking at the chat panel.
【Zai Bing: Did he give his own phone number?】
[Failed Man: He belongs to my second brother, so don't hit him. My second brother is even more powerful. If he gets suspicious of you, he will hide in the shadows and watch you 24 hours a day.]
【Zai Bing: So scary?】
[Failed Man: I can only say that the scary dart man and scary crow man in my house are no joke. You have already offended a crow man, I advise you to stay away from the dart man. ]
[Cai Bing: If players can only add friends in person, who would want to meet you... It was you who did what you did just now. You chose a place where your big brother might come, and you kept complaining to me.]
[Failed Man: He told me on the phone that he would be home in the evening. I was deceived. And I was planning to meet you and leave, but I didn’t expect to run into him. ]
[Cai Bing: Okay, then answer me a question and I’ll forgive you. ]
【Failed Man: What's the problem? 】
[Cai Bing: What's your elder brother's cell phone number? ]
[Failed Man: I’ve blocked you. Don’t send me messages.]
After having dessert in the coffee shop, Ke Mingye and Ke Yinzhi returned home together.
Time passed very quickly, and soon the night of the day arrived.
After dinner, Ke Mingye returned to his room and sat on the bed, taking out the C-level equipment called "Anchor Sunglasses" from his bag. He bought it at the mall this morning at a 30% discount, but it was still ridiculously expensive and cost him a lot of money.
The appearance of this piece of equipment is basically the same as ordinary sunglasses, the difference is that there is a start button on the far right.
He stuffed his sunglasses into his trouser pocket, then walked out of the room and went downstairs. He sat on the sofa, glanced at Bai Ziling on the dining table, and gently pressed the button.
[With you as the center, there are a total of 8-meter range characters: Ke Yinzhi, Ke Xiaomo, Bai Ziling, Bai Zini. Which character should I set the anchor point on? ]
"Bai Ziling."
Ke Mingye responded in his heart.
[An anchor point has been set on the character "Bai Ziling". Next, just put on the sunglasses and press the button on the edge of the sunglasses again to obtain the position coordinates of the character. ]
Seeing that nothing went wrong, Ke Mingye breathed a sigh of relief, reached out to take the cup of tea handed to him by Ke Xiaomo, and looked up at the TV.
He watched TV on the sofa with Ke Yinzhi and Ke Xiaomo while waiting for Bai Ziling to leave home.
Suddenly, the phone in Ke Xiaomo's pocket rang. He answered the phone in a corner of the living room and put it to his ear.
After a while, he sat back on the sofa and gave Ke Yinzhi a confused look: "Who is Song Yawen? Is she your ex-girlfriend again? She asked me for your phone number."
Ke Mingye choked and almost spit out the hot tea he had just drunk, hissing from the heat.
He thought that the female hacker really had some problems. Knowing that she was safe, she went crazy and committed suicide on the edge of the death line, without caring about her buddies' life or death, right?
Ke Yinzhi was watching TV while drinking Wang Laoji and said nonchalantly, "Song Yawen... I don't think I've heard of this name. Is it a scam call?"
"That sister you met in the cafe today, brother, your memory is too good, isn't it?"
Ke Mingye swallowed the tea with difficulty and gave a reminder.
What kind of memory is this, brother? Is it a side effect of genetic mutation? He thought.
"Oh, I remember now." Ke Yinzhi raised his eyebrows and said to Ke Xiaomo, "Just pretend you don't know me. If that doesn't work, just say she called the wrong number."
"How boring..."
Ke Xiaomo hung up the phone expressionlessly. Less than two seconds later, the other party called again. He listened to the ringtone, was silent for a moment, sighed softly, answered the call, said Ke Yinzhi's mobile phone number, and then hung up again.
"Is this true, bro...are you selling me out now?"
Ke Yinzhi turned his head and looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.
"Last time it was that magical girl, and this time it's someone I don't know. That's why I wanted to ask you, can you have more emotional debts out there?" Ke Xiaomo asked.
"Well, I can only say that those are all misunderstandings, but it doesn't matter what you say..."
As he said this, Ke Yinzhi put one arm on the back of the sofa in an unpleasant manner, took a sip of Wanglaoji, and was too lazy to continue explaining to Ke Xiaomo.
"I'm full, let's go out for a walk."
Bai Ziling's clear and gentle voice came from the kitchen. Then she stood up from the dining table, slowly walked to the entrance, put on her sandals, and walked out of the house with a clattering sound.
Seeing her leave the house, Ke Mingye was not anxious, but accompanied Ke Yinzhi to watch the movie for a few more minutes.
Then he went up to the second floor, returned to the room, locked the door, released the trickster doll from the windowsill, and handed it the anchor sunglasses.
"Since I even took out these sunglasses, there's no reason for her to push me away tonight," he thought.
There will be two more chapters later (probably)
